FDIC Issues 87 Enforcement Actions Against Banks

The FDIC issued 87 enforcement actions against problem banks and individuals in March, up from 60 in February.  The administrative enforcement actions processed included 22 consent orders, 15 civil money penalties and 6 prompt corrective actions.

Regulatory enforcement actions are issued to address serious deficiencies or when regulators have doubts about an institution’s ability to implement required corrective actions.  Institutions considered critically undercapitalized are generally required to be closed within 90 days.

If a financial institution accepts a Cease and Desist Order, it is referred to as a “consent order”.   When Regulators issue a Cease and Desist Order they have “determined that it had reason to believe that the Bank engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and/or regulations”.

After “consenting” to a regulatory order, a bank will execute a “Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order”.  Consent agreements allow a bank to agree with regulatory stipulations “without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulations relating to weaknesses in asset quality, capital adequacy, earnings, management effectiveness, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk”.

Much more serious than a Consent Order is a prompt corrective action (PCA) directive which is a “formal action that requires an institution to take one or more specified actions to return to required minimum capital standards”.   Many institution are unable to comply with the terms of a PCA and a large percentage  wind up on the FDIC Failed Bank List.

The latest Quarterly Bank Profile revealed that the number of banks on the FDIC’s confidential Problem Bank List had increased from 860 to 884.  Almost 12% of all FDIC insured institutions are on the FDIC Problem Bank List.

Many of the banks receiving consent orders or prompt corrective action directives have serious deficiencies and are likely to wind up on the failed bank list.
